Actuators
Many special forms and lengths of actuators
are available. External actuators can
be snapped on in either of two locations
(standard lever ratio or high lever ratio).
Actuation lengths are dimensioned
from centerline of switch mounting
hole (see drawing).

Ordering Actuators Separately
There are three standard actuators available,
plus an extra long actuator which may be
used for customizing forms and lengths.
To order actuators for the DA3 Series Sub-
miniature Switch, use the actuator
part number shown. Actuators may be
ordered separately and installed on
switches as required.
Circuitry
Contact arrangement available in choice
of single pole double throw, or single
pole single throw, either normally open
or normally closed.
Mounting
Recommended mounting screw size: #2–56
round head. Recommended torque on
screw: 2 inch lbs. max. (with flat washer min.
0.240″ [6.10mm] outside diameter).
